Simple.

Either in the controller

  confirm_password = @params['user'].delete('confirm_password')

or define attr_accessor :confirm_password in the model, it will then be 
assigned by YourModel.create(@params['your_form']), be accessible in 
validate and other callbacks, and will not be written to the database.
